April Skies

The weather was also slightly better in April, which meant the first time for a long time the kids could play outside, and get reacquainted with our neighbours - Ilona and Hugo have spent a lot of time hiding/playing in this big bush:





Plus we also made it down to the river for the first time this year - sadly the water was not on in the paddling pool even though the kids had worn their swimming costumes



And here is Ilona on her way to Krippe

April arts and crafts

I think we may do more in April than March, in the end. So far its been pretty quiet. Bluet has been spending most of her time either drawing or constructing things from card, paper and lots and lots of sellotape (so much so that she is now working her way through our parcel tape as the regular sellotape has all run out (except, I hope, for my secret supply. NB I must go check that once I finish this)).

Last week she set up her easel in the garden and drew the house opposite (pictured in art and in real life):





We also had the neighbours over for a BBQ on Saturday (the first of the year), and more art ensued



On other days the blankets are all off the beds and out in the garden, again to provide the perfect locale for some art. Hungry work
